Online PR News – 19-February-2012 – – The cream of the UK building preservation and protections industries are set to be recognised at the Property Care Associationâ€™s (PCA) annual awards event.

Taking place on the evening of the 29 March at Cardiffâ€™s Millennium Stadium, the awards celebrate the work of members of the Association operating across the
structural waterproofing, wood preservation, damp-proofing, flood remediation and structural repair sectors.

In-keeping with the high profile venue, legendary Bath, England and British Lions prop Gareth Chilcott will entertain guests with stories from the game.

Steve Hodgson, general manager of the PCA, said: â€śThe PCA awards were first launched in 2009 and since then have gone from strength-to-strength.

â€śThey are a platform to show the best in our business and we are sure the competition will once again be of a very high standard in 2012.â€ť

The PCA Awards celebrate the professionalism of members in areas including innovation and sustainability, training and staff development, as well recognising both the project and contractor of the year.

The PCAâ€™s students who have achieved top marks in all three of the trade bodyâ€™s industry qualifications - namely the Student of the Year in the Associationâ€™s CSRT (Certified Surveyor in Remedial Treatment) and CSSW (Certified Surveyor in Structural Waterproofing) courses, as well as Technician of the Year - will also be recognised.
